Whenever you see, hear, or taste something, you can only tell so much about it based on what you sensed. This often isn't enough, so we make assumptions about what the rest of the thing is like--when people hear "bird", they probably think of something that is fist-sized, flies, and sings, even though none of these things are true about every single bird.
